Trees for Vastu Remedies: Plant

Hoshiarpur /Daljeet Ajnoha/June 13 : Trees and plants are nature’s priceless treasures: they provide life-sustaining air and, if planted in the correct directions, can also invite the blessings of planetary deities, says internationally renowned Vastu expert and author Dr. Bhupendra Vastu Shastri.
“Every tree and plant is believed to host the presence of certain deities or planetary forces,” Dr. Bhupendra said, explaining that homeowners can earn spiritual merit by planting specific species in accordance with Vastu principles to please their chosen deities and the Vastu Purush.

Important cautions
